Melbourne driver's disastrous carpark shortcut

A driver's attempt to shave time off their entry into a university carpark has resulted in a rather large chunk of plastic being shaved off their white hatchback.

Commerce and law student Brendan Hui filmed the driver's disastrous attempt to enter the carpark at Monash University's Clayton campus, in Melbourne's south-east.

The white hatchback travels slowly up a road before braking abruptly at a zebra crossing and trying to sneak into the carpark without actually entering it.

His plan to stealthily make his way into the carpark by mounting a gutter and entering through what clearly is not an entrance should have been foiled when he slammed the passenger side of his white hatchback into a yellow bollard. It wasn't.

Instead, he reverses slightly before slamming into the road barrier for a second time.

Mr Hui told the Monash Leader the car remained where it was for some time after the second collision into the barrier.

"I just thought he was trying to be cheeky and (take) a shortcut into the parking spot, (but) didn’t expect him to hit the pole, not see it, then hit it again," he said.
